Today I went to the Bakersfield Country Music Museum show. They had a very touching ceremony where they gave a guitar to Johnny Burnette Jr. It was a custom built 3/4 size model that Johnny Burnette built for his son. It was made by Moserite in Bakersfield. It was owned by various people through...

Claiming, even to come close, to the legendary Johnny Cash, is clearly blaspheme. It's like not being John Lennon and claiming you've become more popular than Jesus Christ. No, I'll never be Johnny Cash, because I'm...well... me, but it sure was fun smuggling in a guitar and playing...

Is it okay for a woman to vandalize property as payback against a man for infidelity and/or for leaving a troubled relationship? Do you find yourself sympathizing more with a woman who violently attacks an unfaithful spouse than a man who does such to a woman? Does our society hold a...

Upon visiting the Cake website recently, I noted that Cake had recorded a cover of the same tune I recently recorded a cover of: Mel Tillis's Ruby (Don't Take Your Love to Town), made a huge hit in the 70s by Kenny Rogers.
I am curious to know whose cover of this classic you, the visitors...

This is your personal invitation to my free gig this morning, May 19, 2007. Here's your clue for the day on where to find me: I'll be west of K-Mart and East of Jewetta. I'll be somewhere between a place to eat unauthentic Mexican food and a place that serves latte and no beer. ...

I'm not talking about Desperate Housewives. I'm talking about satisfied, content women who stayed home to take care of the children, clean the house, wash the dishes, do the laundry. Is a housewife now a second class citizen? Were they ever satisfied? Were they ever...

Mel Tillis wrote it. Kenny Rogers made a big hit out of it. Now, as a tribute to Mel Tillis, and as a way of honoring all of the injured veterans and the ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice (especially the ones from Bakersfield), I've released it again as a cover. I hope...

I had a dream last night
we were dancin'
at a Valentines ball
you stood barefoot
on the ballroom floor
tryin' hard to break my fall
but I told you I had already fallen
no need to brace my fall
and I told you that
my heart's already broken
no need brace the walls
don't go...

Why I had the guitar with me to begin with is a long story, and I don't want to bore you with unnecessary details. It was a hellishly hot August morning at California State Prison, Solano. Not wanting to destroy my guitar in my car-turned-sauna, I sheepishly smuggled it past the prison sally...
